Eastman Naia and DuPont Biomaterials collaborate to launch new sustainable fabric collection

To meet a growing demand for sustainable fashion options, Eastman and DuPont Biomaterials today announced the launch of a fabric collection made with sustainable, biobased materials. The collaboration blends Naia from Eastman and DuPont Sorona fibers to create garments with exceptional stretch and recovery, luxurious drape and a smooth, soft hand feel.

The new collection will expand the future of sustainable textiles for designers to use for comfortable everyday casual wear. Visitors to the Intertextile show this week in Shanghai, China, will be able to experience the new fabrics by visiting booth 4.1 -E103. Brands can also see the collection at the Première Vision marketplace site.

Eastman Naia cellulosic fiber is the perfect choice for fabrics in womenswear. The Naia portfolio of sustainable fibers gives designers more choices and versatility to create. Naia filament yarn transforms fabrics into luxurious, comfortable, and easy-to-care-for fabrics, while Naia staple fiber blends perfectly with other eco-conscious fibers to create supremely soft, quick-drying fabrics that consistently reduce pilling.
